REID DETMERS NEWS

Notches first win Detmers (1-1) allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out four batters to earn the win against Cleveland on Thursday.

Impact The left-hander kept the Guardians off the scoreboard for four innings before Austin Hedges slugged a solo home run off him with two outs in the fifth. Detmers bounced back to retire the next batter and line himself up for the victory. The 22-year-old allowed five runs over 3.1 innings against Texas in his his second start of the campaign but has since yielded just three runs over 10 frames. His strikeout numbers haven't yet exploded the way they did in the minors -- Detmers has a modest 16 punchouts across 17.1 innings this season -- but he appears to be settling into the final slot in the Angels' rotation. His next start is likely to come in Boston next week.

Stuck with loss Friday Detmers (0-1) took the loss Friday as the Angels fell 5-3 to the Orioles, giving up two runs on three hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out four.

Impact It was a solid effort from the rookie left-hander, who threw 48 of 70 pitches for strikes before exiting, but Detmers left the game with his team down 2-0, and the Halos never found an equalizer. Detmers' 6.57 ERA in three starts looks rough, but his 1.30 WHIP and 12:4 K:BB through 12.1 innings suggest he's been at least a little bit unlucky.

Chased early in tough outing Detmers yielded five runs on six hits and a walk over 3.1 innings in Friday's win over Texas. He struck out five and did not factor in the decision.

Impact Detmers had allowed just one run on an RBI fielder's choice through the first three innings before the wheels fell off in the fourth. He put four consecutive batters on base with one out, including a two-run double by Charlie Culberson, before leaving the game. He was later charged with two more runs that came around to score with Austin Warren on the mound. Detmers now owns a brutal 8.59 ERA with an 8:3 K:BB through 7.1 frames. He's expected to face Baltimore at home next week.

Keeps Angels competitive Detmers got a no-decision in a 13-6 loss to the Astros on Friday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with three strikeouts in four innings.

Impact Detmers pitched well Friday but was stung by the long ball, allowing both runs on solo shots by Jose Altuve and Aldemys Diaz. Manager Joe Maddon took an understandably conservative approach with the former top prospect and Detmers, who struggled during the 2021 campaign. The 22-year-old is scheduled to face the Rangers for his next start on Friday.

Drawing Friday's start Detmers will start Friday against the Astros, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Detmers was originally scheduled to start Tuesday against the Marlins, though he's flipping spots in the rotation with Patrick Sandoval. Detmers got some limited experience in the majors last season, posting a poor 7.40 ERA and 1.79 WHIP across 20.2 innings. However, he had an impressive 43.1 percent strikeout rate across 54 frames at Double-A Rocket City in 2021, which, combined with his prospect pedigree, suggests there is significant room for improvement at the big-league level.

APRIL 7, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Officially named sixth starter Manager Joe Maddon confirmed Friday that Detmers will begin the regular season as the Angels' sixth starter, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact Detmers made five starts for the Angels last year, and he'll be rewarded with a rotation spot to begin the 2022 campaign after he allowed two runs on six hits and no walks while striking out 11 in 5.2 innings across two spring starts this year. The 22-year-old had a 42.0 percent strikeout rate in the minors last season and will attempt to translate that success to the big-league level in 2022.

APRIL 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to win sixth starter job Detmers is likely to open the season as the Angels' sixth starter, Jeff Fletcher of The Orange County Register reports.

Impact The team has reportedly picked its sixth starter but won't announce the winner yet, though indications are that Detmers has beaten Jaime Barria for the job. The 2020 10th-overall pick didn't show all that much in his five-start debut last year, posting a 7.40 ERA and a 6.36 FIP, but that's understandable given that he'd only made 13 starts as a professional prior to earning his first call-up. His 42.0 percent strikeout rate in the minors last season hints at his potential, though just how much of it he'll realize right away this season remains to be seen.

MARCH 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Impressive in spring debut Detmers threw two innings in the Angels' 7-3 Cactus League win Sunday, allowing one hit while striking out five.

Impact Detmers flashed the big strikeout potential that helped accelerate his path to the majors last season, as he punched out five of the seven batters he faced. The southpaw whiffed 108 batters in only 62 innings in the minors in 2021 but was not quite as effective after being called up by Los Angeles, striking out 19 in 20.2 frames in the majors. Detmers is the leading candidate to fill the final spot in the team's six-man rotation for the coming campaign, and he could emerge as a viable fantasy asset if he's able to come anywhere close to the strikeout prowess he displayed in the minors.

MARCH 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Allows a pair of runs Detmers allowed two runs on three hits and two walks while striking out two across 1.2 innings in the win over the Mariners on Sunday. He did not factor into the decision.

Impact Detmers started the season finale after his previous appearance came back on Aug. 21. He failed to last two innings, allowing all three of his hits in the second frame. The rookie struggled in his five starts this season, carrying a 7.40 ERA and 1.79 WHIP with 19 strikeouts in 20.2 innings.

OCTOBER 4, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled for start The Angels recalled Detmers from Triple-A Salt Lake prior to his start Sunday against the Mariners.

Impact The rookie will look to improve upon his 7.11 ERA and 1.68 WHIP in this final appearance of 2021. Whether he begins next season in the big leagues likely depends on how much the Angels improve their pitching staff this offseason.

Starting Sunday Detmers will start Sunday's season finale against the Mariners, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Detmers missed nearly a month after he tested positive for COVID-19, and he was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake after he was reinstated from the injured list in late September. He allowed one run on four hits and a walk while striking out two in two innings during a Triple-A appearance Monday and is expected to be on a pitch count in his return to the major-league mound Sunday.

OCTOBER 2, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Activated, optioned Detmers (COVID-19) was reinstated from the injured list and was optioned to Triple-A Salt Lake on Thursday, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Detmers has been sidelined for nearly a month, though he has been able to toss both bullpen sessions and simulated games. He's set to start for Salt Lake on Monday and could return to the majors shortly after to make a final start. In four appearances at the big-league level, Detmers has compiled a 7.11 ERA and 1.68 WHIP across 19 innings this season.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Tosses simulated game Detmers (COVID-19) threw 53 pitches over three innings in a simulated game Wednesday, per MLB.com.

Impact The rookie previously tossed a sim game last Saturday and appears to be on the brink of returning to the active roster. He hasn't pitched in a game in over a month, so he'll likely be limited to a bullpen role for the remainder of the campaign. Detmers could be capped at around 50 pitches upon his return.

Eyeing return next weekend Angels manager Joe Maddon suggested Saturday that Detmers (illness) could be activated from the COVID-19 injured list at some point during next weekend's series with the Mariners,...

Impact After completing a 40-pitch simulated game earlier this weekend, Detmers is expected to toss one more sim game in the next day or two before getting the green light to rejoin the Angels. On the shelf since Aug. 25 following his positive COVID-19 test, Detmers has taken longer than anticipated to build up upon completing his quarantine period, but given his workload in his most recent sim game, the Angels look to be preparing him for a starting role upon his return. In his first four big-league starts before being shut down, Detmers went 1-3 with a 7.11 ERA and 1.68 WHIP while striking out 17 over 19 frames.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Not expected back this week Manager Joe Maddon said he expects Detmers (illness) to be activated from the COVID-19 injured list for the Sept. 25 game against Seattle, Sam Blum of The Athletic reports.

Impact Detmers tested positive for COVID-19 in late August and has been throwing bullpen sessions since rejoining the team Sept. 5, and he's taking some time to build back up before returning to the mound for the Angels. The 22-year-old has struggled in his first taste of the majors this year with a 7.11 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB across 19 innings.

SEPTEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Tosses bullpen session Detmers (COVID-19) threw a bullpen session in San Diego on Wednesday, MLB.com reports.

Impact Detmers recently confirmed that his placement on the injured list in late August was due to a positive COVID-19 test, but the rookie appears to have recovered and will now build up with an eye toward a return. He isn't stretched out to start, however, and could move to a relief role given that he'll almost certainly be on a limited pitch count upon rejoining the big club.

SEPTEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to team Detmers (COVID-19) rejoined the Angels in Anaheim on Friday, per Sam Blum of The Athletic, but it remains unclear when he will be ready to be activated, Jack Harris of the Los Ange...

Impact Detmers confirmed that he recently tested positive for COVID-19 and was placed in "hard quarantine." The rookie last pitched in a big-league game Aug. 21, so it may take some time for him to ramp back up into game shape. If he can stretch out relatively quickly, Detmers could potentially reclaim his spot in the rotation upon his return.

SEPTEMBER 5, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Goes on IL once again The Angels placed Detmers on the injured list Wednesday for undisclosed reasons.

Impact Such transactions with no injury designations often prove to be COVID-related, but it's unclear if that's the case with Detmers. An explanation for the rookie's going on the IL should become available within the next couple days, at which point an estimation of his return date will be possible.

AUGUST 25, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Receives little support in loss Detmers (1-3) allowed three runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings as he took the loss versus Cleveland on Saturday.

Impact While the southpaw did little to help his own cause, the Angels mustered only four baserunners in the contest to support him. Detmers' biggest mistake was a three-run blast by Jose Ramirez in the third inning. The Angels' first-round pick from 2020 has struggled to a 7.11 ERA, 1.68 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB across his first 19 big-league innings. He's projected for a tough home matchup versus San Diego next weekend.

Earns first MLB win Detmers (1-2) earned the win Sunday against the Astros after tossing six innings of one-run ball, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out six.

Impact The rookie had a rough start to his MLB career after allowing 11 earned runs across his first 9.1 innings, but he was able to deliver an improved showing in this one and that earned him his first big-league win as a result. It was also the first time Detmers pitched at least six innings, and he also posted the first quality of his MLB career. Last but not least, the six strikeouts represented a season-high mark for him.
